Look at the other side of the “no child left behind” coin. It also says “No child gets ahead” this means we keep spending and teaching to the stupidest kids. We should invest in our brightest and most motivated children.

The education proposal isn’t enough. Does anyone really think that we can shoehorn enough learning into a year unless we kill the summer vacation? Quit sending kids to school so early that they aren’t awake for their first hour class, while we’re at it.

Don’t you think that the term “fiscally conservative” has been hijacked by anti-government, anti-tax crusaders? The reality is is that taxes are needed to make this country work and that is never going to change. Instead of the GOP “cut taxes for the rich and starve government” or the Dem’s “tax more, tax alot more” mentalities, what we need is someone who will effectively use tax funds to accomplish the most with them. A better term might be “fiscally responsible.”

It does indeed sound expensive. If you ask 100 “centrists” what “centrist” means, you’ll get 100 different answers. But in my book it means fiscally conservative and socially liberal. These suggestions sound more like tax and spend to me, and that equals more Democrat than anything.
